About 292 miles, there were no Si's available in Las Vegas in the summer of 2020, so I purchased mine from a dealer in Santa Monica CA. I hadn't driven a stick shift in over 20 years, but only stalled it once.
Sorry to hear about your accident. I'm guessing you're okay or you would have mentioned it. I have the same year and color as you.
Your insurance company will make the call on whether or not to total out the car. My guess is they probably will as that looks to be a quite expensive repair...

My next door neighbor's Civic (6th gen I think) was beat to death by an ex (or soon-to-be ex, I never heard the full story). Smashed windshield, dented hood, roof, fenders and trunk. This happened some 6 years ago and he still has the car in his driveway.
The Ferrari never seemed to max out, in the Gallardo the instructor hit the mode button to put it into either Sport or Corsa mode and it screamed in the straightaway so that my top speed was a lot higher than in the Ferrari. Several times in the Ferrari the instructor told me to give it 100%...
Not Civic related but definitely car related, my family treated me to a surprise Exotics Racing experience at Speed Vegas for my birthday. 5 laps in a Ferrari F430 and 5 laps in a Lamborghini Gallardo. I drove the Ferrari first using the paddle shifters, then the Lambo in auto mode. Honestly...
